After returning from the battlefield in the east, it was almost the end of the year. Ning Yujin originally planned to have a good rest for a few days, but was distracted by all the miscellaneous things.
As for the year-end benefits for everyone in the house, the reward system she had established was not familiar to others, so she had to see it in person before she felt reassured.
But God knows, she gets dizzy when she sees those numbers.
There were also the account books of Wan'antang and Baishanzhai. She was very cautious about the person Lu Yunting recommended to her, but that person was an old-fashioned person and insisted on letting her employer go through it before settling the matter.
Otherwise, he will go back to his hometown next year and leave her alone.
Hey, what a bad temper.
Ning Yujin was angry, but she still had to read each book.
But at the end of the day, she couldn't get angry anymore. The year-end sales at the back made her very excited, and she sent people to give orders to all the shopkeepers and assistants to receive a big red envelope.
As for some things that needed to be purchased for the New Year, such as new clothes for the maids and servants, fireworks, incense for the dining table, etc., she was too lazy to take care of it, and she didn't know how to take care of it. She simply left it to the housekeeper and the several maids in the house.
Once you have it all sorted, show it to her.
Mo Jingxiao also laughed at her: "In the entire Shengjing City, there is no other mistress who is as leisurely as you."
Ning Yujin rolled her eyes at him: "We haven't decided to be a princess yet. You've managed the palace for you for free for so long and you're still nagging."
Besides, those ladies from high-ranking families are destined to marry everyone, so they learn to manage the household and people since they were young. She is a concubine, and her maids have been taking care of her since she was a child, so how can she take care of others?
Mo Jingxiao laughed twice and hugged her in his arms: "Okay, okay, I'll promote a few more honest and capable people for you in the future. If you don't want to take care of it, just leave it alone."
Ning Yujin immediately glared at him: "That won't work. Don't let the slave bully the master in the end."
After saying that, she sighed: "Oh, I'd better just try to take care of it."
Mo Jingxiao wanted to laugh when he saw her confused look.
In recent days, the emperor's rewards have been continuously delivered to the mansion. After opening the warehouse in the mansion, Ning Yujin discovered that Mo Jingxiao did not know how to manage these in the past. Many treasures rewarded by the late emperor were stored here and gathered dust.
She simply grabbed a few accountants from her shop to register the rewards and clean up the things in the warehouse.
There was a real problem with this cleanup. Several items were missing from the register. They were all small items, but they were still valuable. After Ning Yujin asked the housekeeper to find out who it was, he sent it directly to slaves in other provinces.
The market is sold.
If you steal some small items at this time, you may not know what you will steal next year. If your hands and feet are not clean, you will not be able to keep them.
Just cleaning the warehouse took a long time. Ning Yujin also found a lot of good things in it, so she took them out, repackaged them one by one and gave them away.
A piece of white jade with colorful auspicious clouds and mutton fat was sent to the palace for Concubine Shu.
There are two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study Room used by the former emperors. One set can be taken back to Quan Ningbo Mansion for Dad, and the other set can be given to Su Xiang.
Oh, by the way, there is some fur brocade in the warehouse, so I can make a blue satin and chinchilla fur coat for Mrs. Su.
However, these should not be what they want...
Ning Yujin was silent for a moment and continued to give instructions.
Aunt Li from Quan Ningbo Mansion and the two aunts adopted by Ning Zhongjian, each wearing new clothes; Ning Yuyi is ten years old when she comes, and she is still crazy and has not gotten better. Ning Yuyan and Ning Yujin let Duo Duo
I made some clothes and picked out some jewelry.
As for the two brothers who had never had any interaction with her, she still asked Mo Jingxiao to arrange two idle positions so that they could stay in the court. Whether they could be promoted or not depended on their own luck.
There were also pieces of embroidered gold python robe materials that she personally selected, which were suitable for making several robes for Mo Jingxiao.
By the way, there are also Xiangyue and Xiangqiao. These two girls must not forget them. They quickly checked out some things and asked people to send them to them.
And the maids beside her were given an additional set of clothes and an extra reward, so they were not treating one favorably against the other.
There were also some people who had dealings with Prince Ding's Mansion. Ning Yujin didn't bother to think about it, so she asked the chief steward to list all the mansions and the list, and then handed them over to her for review in the end.
After all this was done, Ning Yujin stretched out and sighed: "It's so tiring to be the boss!"
In the evening, Mo Jingxiao came back from the palace and saw Ning Yujin lying on the soft couch outside and taking a nap. She also held a ledger in her hand, which she had turned halfway through and looked like she hadn't finished reading.
He couldn't help but smile, walked over and took out the account book, covered her with a blanket, sat down and looked at the account book.
When Ning Yujin stood up vaguely, she found that all the unread account books were placed on the side she had read. She picked them up and flipped them through, and made comments on them. She was immediately shocked.
"Ah! Could it be that I showed my power in my dream and read all the ledgers?"
Next to Xia Zhu and Qiu Yun, they covered their mouths and snickered. Zi Su came over and said, "Yes, you transformed into a prince in your dream and read all the ledgers."
"Mo Jingxiao read it for me." Ning Yujin immediately curled her lips when she heard this, "He's a swordsman and a gunsmith, but he can still read a ledger?"
"Don't keep your voice down when you say bad things about me." A familiar voice with a smile came from the back room.
Ning Yujin turned her head and looked, and was startled again: "Why did you come out of my back room?"
Mo Jingxiao stretched out his hand to dust his robe and said helplessly: "Who told you to drool while sleeping? It's marked on your robe, so I have to change into another one."
All the maids looked like they wanted to laugh but were afraid to laugh, their faces turned red from holding back.
Ning Yujin couldn't help but blush, and waved everyone out: "Okay, okay, don't watch my jokes here."
Zi Su said: "It's already this time, don't you plan to have dinner, miss?"
Ning Yujin touched her stomach, blinked and said, "I'm a little hungry."
All the maids laughed again and hurriedly went out to prepare food.
After the food was served, everyone retreated, leaving only two people.
Mo Jingxiao picked up some vegetables for Ning Yujin, but when he saw her poking at the bowl with her chopsticks, as if she had no appetite, he couldn't help but ask: "Have a bad appetite? Are you worried?"
Ning Yujin raised her head to look at him, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Axiao, see if you can ask the emperor for a favor and release Yuehua. Su Xiang and Mrs. Su must miss her very much.
.”
"So that's what happened." Mo Jingxiao reached out and touched her head, "Not many people know that Qi Yue is Qi Yunqian. Su Yuehua was not imprisoned for this reason. In addition, although Su Xiang resigned
He is an official, but his three sons are still in the court, and many of the civil servants are his disciples. If I open my mouth to plead with the emperor, the emperor will not deny me the honor."
"That's good!" Ning Yujin suddenly smiled, "Well, I want to eat that elbow! And that chicken leg..."
